They hands down make the best coffee drinks I've ever had. Worth every penny!! The service is already great.

This is a fabulous coffee shop if you want gothic academia vibes, moody lighting, and chill tunes. It's spacious and has different types of seating from bar stools to couches, or tables and chairs. The service is always great: the baristas are helpful and welcoming. They'll hand you a numbered card and bring your order to your table. The cheesecake is super solid- the brownie (gluten free) is my favorite. Variations of chocolatey layers complemented by sweet and fluffy layers of caramel-y cream. Tres bien.Their house coffee is smooth, medium bodied (imo) and very drinkable. I like that it's light- sometimes if you want a few mugs or a pairing, you need a complementary background drink, not a coffee nuke. Brownie points for cute glassware! Where I think Dessert Oasis could step up their game is in their latte biz. I've tried the lavender, and for this review, the pumpkin chai latte (plus two shots of espresso- basically a dirty chai latte to jumpstart my evening.) For whatever reason, their lattes and flavorings taste a little dull to me... like slightly burnt espresso or flat espresso that flirts with the distant memory of whatever flavor you choose. I didn't get a lot of pumpkin, pumpkin spice flavor, nor chai flavor... you knew there was something there beyond the milk and espresso, but it was kind of bland and bitter? I don't believe this was a side effect of adding espresso, as their iced lavender latte I had straight up did the same thing. Maybe it's the type of espresso used? Their lattes are good, but they could be brighter and punchier. Just my taste! This is a great spot for dates, small groups, studying, working, etc. There's a parking structure within a block that doesn't charge for the first two hours. I'll be back to Dessert Oasis, it's tres chill.

There is a back entrance that is next to the parking garage and some parking spots, so you don't need to go around the block. It's a great place to catch up with a friend, work/study, or read for a while. My favorites here are the salted caramel latté (it's good hot or iced because they mix the caramel sauce with the espresso rather than just drizzling it, so it gets well incorporated) and the gluten-free brownie cheesecake. It's probably one of the best gluten-free cheesecakes you can get! There is a bussing cart and trash near where you order and pick up your food/drink.

Nice coffee shop, people and unique selections of coffee. I found through a search for Ethiopian Coffee and I was pleasantly surprised to find it locally. The ladies at the counter were very knowledgeable about brewing methods, pour-overs, drip, brewing tricks, etc. Parking is conveniently located on the street and parking lots behind the coffee shop. It's a very chill coffee shop with a nice and cozy vibe.

I've biked by this cafe many times, and finally stopped in for a study session. It is a big space with a lot of seating, and there was great music playing. It also seems like they host a lot of community events which is great.Not the warmest welcome when we got to the counter, but everyone has their off days. I ordered the Versailles Mocha, which sounded super appealing. There were also many gorgeous desserts that I hope to try the next time I stop in!The latte art was gorgeous, but I did not taste a lot, or any, of the spices that the mocha suggested. Either way, it was still a great drink. This is definitely a place I'd stop by again to get some work done!

I enjoyed a Mocha and croissant during my visit to Dessert Oasis in Royal Oak, MI. The coffee is robust and the Mocha had raisin/date flavor notes. The croissant was soft and flakes as it should be. Three stars for food and drink. During my visit, there was just a single employee working. The young lady did a great job considering the customer load and number of orders to fill. Because of her, I gave Dessert Oasis a fourth star.

I ordered an iced latte with soy. I wanted to like it because the place looks like a hipster coffee joint with pour over setups etc. I was a little disappointed in my order. The latte had a very oily mouthfeel. This usually is a problem with the bean roasting process. My husband got the hot brewed coffee which was fine. Came here on a Sunday morning so it wasn't crowded. People were on there laptops working. The space is spread out and would be a great place to work. The staff is friendly. Young college type guys working the coffee stations. Overall disappointed w the coffee but gave it 4 stars for the ambience and service. I will try this place again and give it another review. Hopefully it was just a fluke.

I loved this coffee shop! There's a ton of seating for people of all types (people who want to work & people who want to read). I ordered the 12oz iced white chocolate mocha and I loved it! I spent a few hours reading and did end up putting my headphones in because I felt the music was too loud for my taste, but that's a personal preference). I will def come back again :-)

The coffee was good! I got one of their novelty pour overs. The caffeine was very strong so unless you're a consistent coffee drinker, I wouldn't recommend drinking more than one. The ambiance was laid back and more modern. It seems like a very good place to get work done and have good coffee. There is a decent amount of seating and tables. There is a bit of a line because there's was only around 2 barista working.

I've always enjoyed the atmosphere and food at this cafe, but I wanted to bring up a concern regarding the comfort of the space. Recently, I've noticed that the cafe has been less pleasant due to an unpleasant smell, likely caused by some homeless individuals who frequent the area. While I understand that homelessness is a complex issue, it has made the environment uncomfortable and difficult to enjoy my time here. I try to support small businesses but it is getting out of hand.I believe it would greatly improve the experience for all customers if there were steps taken to address this issue--perhaps additional cleaning, or considering options to maintain a comfortable and welcoming space for everyone. I'm sure other patrons would appreciate any efforts to maintain the great vibe the cafe usually has.
